Ordination at RiversideRiverside is graced with many people who feel called to ordained ministry. As you think about whether you are among them, below are some basics to begin with:• You have been a member of Riverside for at least one year, and active in its programs, pledging, and worship.• You have received or are studying for an M.Div. degree from an accredited seminary. • You are clear about the denomination in which you wish to serve — whether the American Baptist Churches or the

United Church of Christ — and why you need ordination to pursue this service.• You live within commuting distance of Riverside, are in good health, and can concentrate on developing the professional

skills and spiritual maturity necessary for ordained ministry.• If in your discernment you feel ready to take the next step, start the process by picking up a data sheet and outline called

“Coming into Care at Riverside” from the Senior Minister’s office.
